What Odegaard & Arteta told the fans at the Emirates post-Burnley

Martin Odegaard and Mikel Arteta both spoke to the Arsenal fans at the Emirates Stadium on Monday night, and this is what they had to say.

Following Arsenal’s win over Burnley on Monday night, Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard and Gunners manager Mikel Arteta both spoke over the loudspeakers to the supporters.

The game was Arsenal’s final match of the season at the Emirates Stadium, but everything remains up in the air with their trophy hopes.

The Premier League will either be decided on Tuesday night (if Manchester City fail to beat Bournemouth) or on Sunday, when Arsenal travel to Selhurst Park for their final game. Then the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain will take place next weekend in Budapest.

So whilst Odegaard insisted he’s proud of what the team have done so far, he made sure to add that they can’t stop yet.

“Yeah, [I’m] really proud,” Odegaard said. “I think it’s been an amazing season so far, we have one big one left here and then the Champions League final obviously, and we want to take the trophies home.

“But it’s been amazing, and just a little bit to go now, and we’re going to give it all. We have to keep going.

“I can promise you all that we give everything we have every single day, and we’re going to keep going until the very end. With your support, we’re going to be ready.

“[The fans] have been amazing, I think especially these last two home games, arriving at the stadium, seeing everything outside, and then the atmosphere inside here is amazing so let’s get ready for the last two and thank you so much!”

Arteta then thanked the supporters for the way they’ve backed the team, particularly over the last few weeks, calling on the fans to maintain those high levels in the future.

“Thank you,” Arteta began. “It’s an absolute joy to witness the transformation and the contribution that each of you have had to turn this place into the most beautiful place to enjoy and play our football games.

“This is the soul of this football club, and each of you contribute to that. So make sure every time you step in this stadium, you face the responsibility now to keep it at these standards. It makes such a difference for us, and for all these players.

“I want to thank you, I want to see you soon at Selhurst Park, and for sure in Budapest as well.

“But before I leave you, to the protagonists, to this amazing group of players and staff, they have put so much work into it, a big round of applause please!”
